What games do you think should NEVER be remastered, because they're close to perfect as they are?

Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Katamari Damacy
They already did, Reroll came out in 2018.
That was closer to a remaster of the original though, wasnt it?
Source: played the shit out of both. Seemed just like mostly ported to PC from PS2 to me. Reroll feels very accurate to the OG.
OP said remaster.
Hard disagree on this. The controls could be 1000% improved.
I know, because I’ve purchased the same 3 or so Katamari games each time they’re rereleased and am moderately disappointed each time that they control like blind elephants.
Wouldn't the controls be a feature then? Like it's supposed to be played with tank controls?
In the same vein that FPS games use WASD movement with mouse aiming instead of arrow keys or… other early control schemes, sure.
We’ve moved on to more ergonomic controls with custom keybinds for those who prefer something different. We get no choice with Katamari.
If we collectively decide that developers know best and that no changes to controls are reasonable or desired, then I’ll happily withdraw my request for an accessible Katamari game.
The users (specifically me) are just playing it wrong I guess.
Not at all, accessability is a good thing! Hope you'll be able to play it comfortably one day
Best soundtrack ever.
